Because of recently reported reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction evidence of enterovirus in sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (SALS) and because of newly available anti-enteroviral drugs binding enteroviral capsids, it is reasonable to re-formulate an enteroviral hypothesis of SALS using recent advances in molecular virology. Viral persistence is non-lytic and non-cytopathic in...

Pro-inflammatory cytokines are important mediators of β-cell demise in type 1 diabetes, and similar mechanisms are increasingly implicated in type 2 diabetes, where a state of chronic inflammation may persist. It is likely that the actions of anti-inflammatory cytokines are also altered in diabetes. Cytokines are released from immune cells, which may be recruited to the islets in diabetes, but ...
